Equipping current and former Foster youth to Achieve Independence

independent, proud, and happy young adul

All young adults deserve
the chance to
Achieve Independence

Young adults transitioning out of the foster care system face significantly higher risks compared to their peers. They are more likely to drop out of high school, not complete higher education or trade school, struggle with substance addiction, experience unemployment, incarceration, and homelessness, and become young parents, perpetuating the cycle of foster care.

 

We are dedicated to supporting foster youth aged 14 and older, as well as those who have aged out of the system by equipping them with the knowledge and skills necessary to become independent, contributing members of society.

Purpose/Mission

OAI has desire to equip the young adults in foster care with the knowledge and skills needed to become independent assets to our society.

Our program offers mentoring, life skills training, education and career preparation and transitional living support to youth in Foster Care ages 14 and older. OAI offers 'A Guide to the Impact of Trauma' Class as well as TCC (Trauma Competent Care) upon request.
